        Officers found 3 legs while cutting into crocodile's belly

     Nakhon Nayok - Khlong 16 was investigated urgently and carefully today after a drunken guy found 2 bodies of children in the belly of a big crocodile.

     Mr. Pong Paitoon, the 30 years old witness told the police that while he was drinking some alcohol, he saw the crocodile lying on the banks of khlong 16. With impetuousness, he decided to kill it and then slashed its belly with a chopping knife in order to be his appetizer.  But he had to be shocked when he found 2 bodies inside. He decided to call 191 “I thought I found 2 bodies in the crocodile’s belly, it had to be the bodies of children.”

     Paitoon said alarmingly to the police “The crocodile had to swallow them while they were swimming. First time, I found only their legs but I weren’t sure it was the legs of humans." Paitoon added that he started to be shocked when he found their heads later, “It was the worst day, I didn’t want to get trouble so called 191”

We found a drunken guy he told me about the bodies and led me to the corpse of the crocodile. With the help of Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunan, we could know that these boys were dead at least 3 hours, the first boy was named Mana Pasan (10 years old) and the last one was named Manop Pasan (9 years old).” the police said.

     1 hour later after the police came to investigate, a lot of residents crowded around the scene including their parents.

      “They were dead because of being drowned not being bitten, they had no any wounds so the crocodile only swallowed them”, Rojanasunan said.

     Moreover, a lot of residents shouted that this was not the first time, but no concerned persons came to examine.
